The application offers a convenient way to interact with web content using a TV remote control. This feature simplifies navigation, making it easy for users to browse the internet directly from their television screens. By utilizing the remote, users can seamlessly scroll through pages, select options, and access various web functionalities without needing an additional device like a mouse or keyboard.
In addition to remote control functionality, the application supports tabs and bookmarks, which enhances the user experience by allowing quick access to frequently visited sites. Users can open multiple tabs, effectively multitasking while browsing, and save their favorite pages with bookmarks for easier retrieval later on. This combination of features caters to both casual browsing and more intensive internet use, providing flexibility in how users interact with web content.
Voice search support is another significant feature that adds to the application's accessibility. Users can perform searches using voice commands, which is particularly useful for those who may find typing cumbersome on a remote control. The application’s ability to switch user agents also ensures that users can experience websites as they would on different devices, allowing for greater compatibility and a tailored browsing experience.
The application is designed with performance in mind, featuring two switchable web rendering engines to optimize website viewing. It includes a built-in download manager for easy file handling and maintains a browsing history for users to revisit previously viewed sites quickly. Shortcuts are also included to facilitate even faster navigation throughout the app, making it a comprehensive tool for internet browsing on television. Furthermore, as the application has transitioned to open source, it invites contributions and improvements from the developer community.
